Answer 1

Macedonian phalanx ignore him, don't you see that the man is lost in space:) He dosn't know what he is asking.....

HELOOO you need glasses to read what have you writen....!

We don't need to prove you anything, because we don't care what you think!

We are Macedonians and that's enough!

What about you proving us that you are not Arab! Because as I know everybody calls you arabs, soo do you have any prove that you are not from Asia?????

Answer 2

They have ISSUES!!!!  LOL!

They don't have time for your questions,  dreaming is their favorite pastime.  Dream on... ... ... .. .. .. . . . . . . .

Answer 3

What is the proof !!!

- I'm the proof and all the Macedonians who live there.

I can proudly say that I'm not Greek and my country is not Greece than  Macedonia and always will be. I'm proud who I am and I hope that truth will come out no matter how you Greeks trying to hided.

After all that your country Greece have done to Macedonia and the Macedonian people, I don't even know how your government and you Greeks can even talk about who's Macedonia is. I can say that Greece is today's n***s and their president Hitler.

-If they though you in schools you will know how big was your country before 1913 and what happened then.

-You will know what happened to the Macedonians people who lived in Greece before the Greek civil war.

- If you want to find out who's Macedonia was go and find old Greek history book and you will see that Macedonia was not Greece or part of the Greece.
